Last Sunday, we headed out to Doyle's in JP. Lynn had been talked into running the five-mile Doyle's Road Race. She runs a few miles pretty regularly, but not usually quite five, not usually in a giant pack of other runners, and not usually over a hilly course. So understandably, she was a bit nervous and excited.
In any case, Lynn received the very lucky number 1072 (2 * 7 - 0 - 1 = 13) and had at it. Her goal was to finish within 55 minutes and she bested that easily, crossing the finish line somewhere around 53:30 after she passed the starting line. I was (and am) quite proud and impressed. Way to go, Lynn!
I went through the hundred or so pictures I took at the race, and as I flipped through them a conclusion slowly dawned on me about the people who ran this race. I'll blog about it soon, but I need to put together some pictures first. For now, a sneak peek of my favorite runner (second to Lynn, of course) approaching the finish line.
Please enjoy a small helping of the pictures I took at the race.
GOOOOO LYNN!! :)
Awesome job Lynn!
that guy kind of looks like will ferrell!
also, isn't 1072 a lucky number? 7 * (2-1+0) ?
Thanks for posting my picture! I didn't know that I looked so good giving it my final race kick. But you missed getting my bare feet and my cycling bib outfit for my full effect; or perhaps my full affect.
